Sad news from my workplace

I was shocked by some sad news from my workplace - news about a coworker from San Diego named Amy. A while ago she and I had worked on the same team. Recently Amy had gone on vacation with her husband, and upon their return she had been admitted to the hospital for surgery related to a knee injury. Apparently she had either picked up a virus, or developed an infection which effectively postponed the knee surgery. Within a matter of days the illness had overcome her and she passed away. Amy was a happy, smart person and great to work with! The shock of her passing away was compounded by the fact that she was only 44 years old.
